    Ah yes, I wanted to vote blue, but now that the felon’s ear got shot, I’ll vote for the fashists.

    This is US politics and it makes sense.

      No, it’s more like:

      “I wasn’t going to vote because I don’t care about or follow politics. Now I see they are trying to kill this guy so I am going to vote for him because clearly the powers that be want him gone. So, he must be doing something to fight the system like JFK.”

      Nobody who was going to vote Dem is changing their vote. It’s all the people who weren’t going to vote that now will because they either think he is badass for surviving an assassination attempt, or because of the web of new conspiracy narratives that are sure to be born from this that further serve to frame Trump as the savior of the common man from the clutches of the evil deep state.

        A 20 year old kid is “the powers that be”? LOL. Maybe they will think instead “Wow Trump must be a huge dick if people hate him so much they are trying to kill him”.

        he is badass for surviving an assassination attempt

        He didn’t look like a badass at all. He looked like someone who had been bloodied because he was so deeply hated.

          You are evaluating based on your perspective, and not the perspective of a middle America normie. That’s the problem.

            You are falling for the lame Treason Trump tactic of “spin every negative as somehow a positive”. Loser Trump gets convicted of a crime? That’s good! Sex Offender Trump is found guilty of rape? That’s good! Treason Trump is so widely hated by Americans that people want to kill him? That’s good!. Never get inside a conservative’s head if you are going to come out with a loser defeatist attitude.

              I’m not falling for shit. I’m evaluating the reality of the average 95 IQ NPC that is going to vote in this election. No offense, but the fact you can’t understand that isn’t my problem.

                No, your falling for Treason Trump’s standard propaganda tactic of “pretend a bad thing that happened is a good thing”. The average person does not think that people hating you enough to kill you is a good thing.

                  You are grasping at straws in a failed attempt to strawman my argument. This tactic is not going to work.
